The boy soldier next to the famous detective

"Hey Jonah, what have you been writing?"

After the first period, Conan Edogawa patted Jonah on the shoulder and asked him curiously.

On his way to school today, Conan Edogawa saw Jonah seemingly lost in thought, appearing somewhat absent-minded.

However, since Conan Edogawa knew that Jonah and his team seemed to have recently clashed with the organization and were preparing for some kind of operation, he didn't ask.

After all, Conan Edogawa knew that if Jonah didn't want to tell him this, he wouldn't get any answer even if he asked.

However, when Jonah sat in his seat in the classroom, took out a small notebook during the first class, and carefully wrote down names and dish names, and started doodling, Conan Edogawa found it strange.

Ai Haibara, who was standing to the side, put away her books from the previous class and looked over with a curious gaze.

Not only Conan Edogawa, but Ai Haibara was also curious about what Jonah was doing, but she didn't ask him directly during class.

"I'm writing up the guest list and the dishes I want to prepare."

Jonah glanced at the birthday party invitation list and the menu he had prepared, and nodded in satisfaction.

After making arrangements with Eri, Jonah began to look forward to his first birthday. Although it was Jonah's first birthday, having attended many birthday parties, Jonah had a general understanding of what a birthday party should be like.

A birthday party is about inviting all the friends you want to have, enjoying delicious food together, and designing fun games for everyone to play. It's not that difficult.

"Hmm? Jonah, are you hosting a banquet? Has something good happened?"

Curious, Conan Edogawa took the notebook filled with writing from Jonah and glanced at it, discovering that he recognized all the people in it.

"Yes, I've already arranged with Aunt Eri that we'll have a birthday party in four days."

"A birthday party? Isn't Xiaolan's mother's birthday in four days?"

Blinking, Conan Edogawa quickly recalled Eri Kisaki's birthday from his memory, then frowned in confusion.

"Yes, it's not Aunt Eri's birthday, it's my birthday."

"Oh, so it's your birthday... Hey! It's Jonah's birthday! Jonah, you have a birthday?"

He subconsciously responded, but Edogawa Conan quickly realized what was happening and exclaimed in shock.

Although Conan Edogawa's remarks were somewhat impolite, they truly reflected his innermost thoughts. He knew that Jonah didn't know his birthday, so when Jonah suddenly announced that it was his birthday, who wouldn't be surprised?

Not to mention Conan Edogawa, even Ai Haibara, who was standing to the side, widened her eyes and asked anxiously.

"Your birthday is in four days? How was that decided?"

"In four days it will be the anniversary of Aunt Eri bringing me back to Japan. I figured since I don't know exactly when I was born, I might as well treat this day as my birthday."

Jonah looked up at Conan Edogawa and Ai Haibara and said softly.

"Aunt Yingli said that day was the day I said goodbye to the past and started a new life, and I think that's very true."

"No problem, it's a great day to start a new life! Happy birthday!"

Nodding in strong agreement, Conan Edogawa held Jonah's notebook, grinning from ear to ear, looking even happier than Jonah, whose birthday was just around the corner.

"Are these all the friends Jonah invited to the banquet? Where are you planning to stay? With so many people, it's a bit inconvenient to stay at home. Let's find a restaurant outside."

Ai Haibara snatched the notebook from Conan Edogawa's hand, quickly scanned the number of people, and immediately began to help Jonah think about how to arrange the birthday party.

This is Jonah's first official birthday, and Ai Haibara has to make it the best it can be!

"Haibara, Conan, you two look so happy."

Jonah blinked and saw that Conan Edogawa and Ai Haibara were not arguing but instead discussing what to prepare for the birthday party while huddled around his notebook. He was a little surprised and suddenly realized that what Eri Kisaki had told him yesterday seemed to make some sense.

It turns out that everyone is really happy when it's my birthday.

Upon learning this explosive news, Conan Edogawa and Ai Haibara lost all interest in the lesson and began discussing the arrangements for the birthday party. By the end of the morning, they still hadn't figured out other aspects, but at least they had booked the venue.

After their argument, Conan Edogawa and Ai Haibara suddenly realized that it was Jonah's first birthday, and it was best for Jonah to make all the decisions. They could help come up with solutions, but they absolutely could not make the decisions for Jonah.

With the help of the two, Jonah carefully considered what he wanted to do for his birthday and decided to hold the party at Junichi Morimoto's "Gunfire Wargame" club.

Jonah decided to rent Junichi Morimoto's club for one day four days later, so that he could suspend operations.

Anyway, after the club's renovation, the rest area has become more spacious, which is more than enough to serve as a banquet venue. After dinner, Jonah can also take the guests to the venue to play wargames.

Jonah believes this game will be a lot of fun for everyone, after all, no one dislikes wargames! (Convinced)

Jonah thought his idea was great, so during his lunch break, he called Junichi Morimoto and told him what he was thinking.

"Jonah, you want to celebrate your birthday at my club? No problem, of course! That's great! Four days from now, right? I'll shut down the club this afternoon! Tell me how many people are coming, what to prepare, and I'll take care of everything!"

"Money? Jonah, you're insulting me! You're asking for money for something this small! No, not a penny. Stop talking nonsense, just wait for me to make the arrangements!"

Upon hearing Jonah's words, Junichi Morimoto readily waved his hand and ordered his staff to close the shop. He also contacted guests who had booked to come over in the next few days, saying that the club needed to make some renovations for a few days.

Junichi Morimoto and Jonah already had a good relationship, not to mention that Jonah had introduced him to a business selling brand-new wargame firearms, which made him a fortune. Junichi Morimoto considered this small matter as an investment in their friendship.

After all, Junichi Morimoto had seen how Ryuichi Shiraishi treated Jonah at the Shiraishi family's banquet. It would definitely be a good thing to stick with Jonah.

Unfortunately, just as Junichi Morimoto was gearing up to make a good impression by booking out the entire Jonah birthday party, Sonoko Suzuki arrived at the Gunfire Club with the Suzuki family's professional entourage and renovation team.

After Jonah contacted Junichi Morimoto, he thought it would be a good opportunity to contact all the people he wanted to invite in advance, just in case someone couldn't make it.

Jonah had originally planned to do this work when he got home that night, but seeing Conan Edogawa and Ai Haibara, along with the three little ones who all knew the news, enthusiastically helping to plan the activities for the birthday party, Jonah also got excited.

Then, Jonah was unusually reprimanded by his "friends and family".

"Such a big thing, and you're only telling me now? Jonah, don't you even consider me your older sister anymore?"

"But I only made the decision yesterday..."

"Then why didn't you tell me yesterday? You didn't even tell Xiaolan?"

"That's right, Jonah, why didn't you tell me last night?"

Hearing Ran Mouri and Sonoko Suzuki's voices on the phone, Jonah blinked somewhat embarrassedly.

"I forgot, because there were still several days left, and I thought I had enough time."

"Hmph, Jonah, just wait until tonight I'm going to pinch your little cheeks! Tell me, what's going on over there?"

After learning from Jonah that he wanted to hold a birthday party at the Gunfire Club, Sonoko Suzuki simply said, "Alright, just wait for your birthday, you don't need to worry about anything else," and hung up the phone.

Then, Sonoko Suzuki immediately asked for leave, had her driver take her away, and called Shiro Suzuki at the same time.

"Sonoko, you should be taking your lunch break at school right now, why are you suddenly..."

"Dad, Jonah's birthday is in four days."

"Pfft—cough cough, cough, really?"
